JANE ZIEGELMAN: “Food brought over by immigrants grew in size. This is like something that happens to a lot of food once they come to the United States. They get bigger [laughter] and they get blander.”
MARIO RITTER: And in some cases they get served in a way that makes them easier to eat while standing or walking. Ms. Ziegelman says hot dogs, for example, moved from a plate to a bun. A similar idea of serving food on bread can be found at a food truck in Portland, Oregon, called Viking Soul Food. The owners are Megan Walhood and her future husband, Jeremy Daniels.
MEGAN WALHOOD: “The sort of foundation product that we serve is lefse, this Norwegian potato flatbread, and I grew up eating that every year at Christmastime. And it was Jeremy who kind of had the idea to start using it like a tortilla or a crepe, and just stuffing it with all manner of different things.”
FRITZI BODENHEIMER: Viking Soul Food’s most popular lefse wrap is filled with meatballs. The recipe comes from Megan Walhood’s grandmother. The meatballs are topped with pickled cabbage, and a sauce of melted Scandinavian cheese. Megan and Jeremy say a wrap like this would never be seen in Norway, but people in Portland seem to enjoy it.

JEREMY DANIELS: “Because it’s meatballs with melty cheese sauce over the top.”
MEGAN WALHOOD: “It’s like a cheese gravy.”
